Charity Poker Tournament for the Children's Tumor Foundation

[chane]

My nephews Braeden (age 4) and Bronson (age 2) both have neurofibromatosis (NF) type 1, and as a result have bilateral optic glioma brain tumors. In addition, Braeden has congenital pseudoarthrosis of his left tibia (leg bowing) due to his NF. Braeden has successfully completed 60 weeks of chemotherapy treatments and one day his tibia will likely be replaced with a steel rod. Bronson began chemotherapy treatment on February 27.

We are having a tournament at Full Tilt (and running in a 10k race) to raise money for the Children's Tumor Foundation. You can read more about it here:

We also just had a gentleman donate 18 autographed copies of his new poker book and another gentleman donate a few copies of Rounders DVDs to be given as prizes.

Hey guys, this tournament is becoming HUGE! Everyone is talking about it - it's been talked about on Rounders Radio, Hold'em Radio and just about every poker forum online.

I just wanted to drop by and let you guys know that all of the pros are now bounties!

You will receive an autographed copy of Mitchell Cogerts brand new book "Play Razz Poker to Win" for taking out a pro! (Limit one book per player.)

All you have to do is PM me your name, address and hand history at my forum or at this forum or email me at chane [at] theroundersroom.com.

The top 10-15 finishers will also get Phil Gordon's DVD (if we can get a hold of him again), Rounders movie DVD or Tony Korfmans autographed book, " HoldemPoker, Tournaments, cash games and embarrassing social gas". (All prizes are subject to availability.)

We got 5 days left to go. Our goal is 900 players - we currently have 177 players. We're on our way to 900, but you can help us out by telling a friend!

This could end up being the best $10 tournament you've ever played in (or missed, if you don't get in NOW!)

You're a really sad fuck. I'm sure you already know that. You're life must be miserable.

This tournament has 13 pros in it, the president of the Children's Tumor Foundation is playing in it. It's been announced on over 80 forums and on Hold'em Radio and Rounders Radio.

It's clearly obvious that it's a reputable charity. And out of the thousands of people who've seen this...and out of all the forums I've posted at YOU are the only douche bag fucking coward that has said something like this.

I just wish you could say to my face. I would beat you senseless. But, you'll get yours - people like you always do - there's a special place in hell for you.

Well yea, my site is running the tournament, all of the information about my nephews and about CTF is at my site. Admin took the link down, that's fine if they are paranoid or afraid to lose their valuable members or whatever.

At least you looked into it before you said some horrible shit like that.

I was going to play in this tournament, until I realised that I didn't have any money in the poker account and the minimum i was able to deposit was $50, which i didn't want to do as i never play on the site.

Therefore, I just donated the $10 it would have cost me to play to your fund....

Good luck with the game, i hope it all goes well.
